What did Woah Vicky say about Lil Tay's death?
Woah Vicky is known to be close to rapper Lil Tay.
After news of the star's death surfaced, Woah Vicky took to TikTok to share her condolences.
“Rest in peace to Lil Tay and her brother. May they rest in peace in heaven and god bless them," she said.
“Sending prayers to them and their family. May Jesus comfort the family while they go through this hard loss and give them peace.”
Speaking with The U.S. Sun, Woah Vicky admitted that she had a hard time grappling with Lil Tay's alleged passing, and even expressed skepticism about reports of her death.
"I don't know if it's true or not, I haven't spoken with her in years but it's very sad if it is true.
"But I think it's kind of weird how all of a sudden that her brother and her pass away. I don't know, but the text on Instagram doesn't really seem real.
"I mean, we haven't seen her on Instagram [since 2018], we haven't seen anyone that has taken a picture with her - you know how celebrities will sometimes get spotted and get asked for a picture - and we haven't seen none of that for years, but then all of a sudden, 'Oh, her and her brother are dead,' that just doesn't seem right."
"I just don't know what to believe," she concluded.
It turns out that her gut feeling was right, as Lil Tay was confirmed to be alive on August 10, 2023.
In a statement, she wrote: "I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say.

"It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess."
The 14-year-old added: "My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not 'Claire Hope.'"
